Question:Access Denied You don't have permission to access

recently I have tried to get onto the ebay site and am confronted withAccess DeniedYou don't have permission to access "http://www.ebay.com.au/" on this server.Reference #18.a7b63b17.1481747416.7e30aa5

I have tried to get onto the site from all my computers and phones and get the same message.

On Windows7 Pro, trying to run IIS. The way I am used to execute is on the browser "localhost". I used to have the code in the directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Even before I copy, I am hoping to see
the image IIS welcome page. Once it is successful, want to copy the code as that was the way I used to do in Window XP. However I am getting the following message. I have administrator access to the machine and gave full permissions
to the folder 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot'. Still the same message.
Error message 401.3: You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied (access denied due to Access Control Lists). Ask the Web server's administrator to give you access to 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot'.

Can someone help me to address this issue. Thanks a lot in advance.

HOW CAN I ACSESS THIS SITE?

Answer:Access Denied You don't have permission to access

For starters, where are you trying to access it from? Is this an Internet connection from home, college, business, etc? If it's a home connection, perhaps you should speak with your ISP to see if there are any issues. As for business and colleges: the people in charge of networking at these respective establishments would be the best bet.

I am trying to share drives with 2 other computers. I can access them from my Windows 7 computer. I can see the drives from the other computers, but get an access denied when trying to access from them. I have check everywhere, and have permissions all set for everyone. The other computers are running XP, Vista, and Windows 7, all can see this one, but not access it.

I'm hoping someone can help me. Recently my laptop has started denying me access to most of my programs. I cannot access any program that does not have the Run as Administrator option. I have Windows Vista and as far as I know I haven't changed any of the settings or security so I'm not sure why it is doing this all of a sudden. The code that I get reads as follows:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

Hi, i have this problem that i cannot solve. i know why it happened but i was kinda trying stuff without really knowing what i was doing, so now i turn to this forum cause i tried all i could think/find and i still cant solve my mistake.

I had two HD, C: with XP pro sp3 and linux (dual boot)D: formated in ntfs with all extra data (songs, video, reports, receipt etc..)

When i had these two working normally, i needed to restrict the access of the second HD (the D to only one computer on the network so i messed around with the permission. I ended up deleting the whole list; it was looking like this (under the security tab of the HD properties)"Administrator""SYSTEM" "User" X\username"

So i deleted these, it gave me problems , then i found how to re-take owner ship. but i only re-added

"User" X\username

i could then again access my files on the D: . but i still couldnt share my files as i wanted for some reason. so i decided to re-install windows...big mistake!!

I formated the C:, re-installed windows on it, no problem with that. But now i see the second HD in windows explorer as RAW and access is denied. Meaning the HD is detected and listed there, but the used space and total space amount is not showing, if i click properties, instead of NTFS its says RAW. If i try to open it to explore the content, i get an access denied message.

I tryied chkdsk it did some things (looked like it was changing stuff, but i cant see a... Read more

i have copied a folder in external hard drive which is NTFS and now getting back an error generated access denied. and the color of all files in that folder is changed. the files are so important please help

So I was going through my Program Files to delete unwanted folders and files but I keep running into this message even after I changed the Permission settings in the Security Properties of the Program Files Folder. My account is set as administrator but it wants me to get administrator permission. Also under "Group or user name" are the TrustedInstaller, System, Creator Owner necessary to have there? One last question, why is there two Administrator usernames "Administrators username/Administrator" and "Users username\Users" because I only have one account on here and I'm the only one that uses it?

P.S. I'm attaching some snapshots of these messages. Thanks everyone.

Answer:Folder Permission Access Denied

What account are you currently logged into on that computer? Its possible that you are logging in as a temp profile that does not have the proper permissions.

The TrustedInstaller, System, and Owner should be in the permissions for those folders so leave those in there.

An easy way to see what profile you are logged in as would be just going to the Downloads folder and verify the path is your actual username and not some Temp profile.

Also it looks as if this computer is part of a domain or all these all local accounts?

Hi, I have a problem with the UAC and access privileges. I am the administrator on my computer and i accidently set up access control for half of my files (deny access to SYSTEM and administrators). I changed all the settings back, disabled UAC, allowed access to all users and groups and applied those changes to all subfolders and files. However, I'm still getting a message saying i dont have permission to access. I tried changing the ownership but it doesnt apply to every subfolder and I dont wanna go and change the ownership for every single file.

Please help! i need those files!

Hello, I have been having trouble trying to delete this executable(.exe) file on Windows 10 Pro. It says the following: "'File Access Denied: 'You need permission to perform this action.'" I have had this error message before and I solved it through the file's properties/security tab and re-entering my username/administrator to the Object Name but this did not work. I also tried running the rm command in the windows powershell (admin) but that did not work either. It is nothing important and is only a .exe to a game which was leftover from an uninstall. So I'm lost. Any help would be appreciated!

I have some folders that I cannot access. I get access denied when trying to browse my documents, my pictures, Documents and Settings, etc. How do I set the permissions where I have full access to my system? I have windows 7 professional installed

Answer:I get permission denied when trying to access fold...

This may be due to Windows user profile restrictions. In this case, you can sign in to windows using an administrator account (if you have not done this already) and check if that resolves the issue. If the issue still persists, you can refer to the following links for some more troubleshooting options:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2623670https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/gp/access-denied The following link will guide you on the steps for changing file permissions:http://www.wikihow.com/Change-File-Permissions-on-Windows-7 Hope this will help you.

I am having an issue with my pc not allowing other software within bleeping.com to run/install(see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/498446/cannot-able-to-run-antimalware-like-superantispyware-mbam-or-even-dds/).

It may be due to permissions violations, but I have set them (and the subdirectories) as an administrator user.

I have found I can do some things if I download in any user, but run in safe mode. But, when I return to the non-safe mode, I cannot do it again...and some things are no longer available.

All this became obvious when a popup taking me to lnksr.com showed up and I could not run McAfee OAS, run SUPERAntispyware free addition and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Additionally, Windows tries to update every time (with 7 updates) the pc is shut down...even if I start up and shut down immediately after rebooting.

Updating any of the antivirus and antimalware is futile.

How can I start remediation of this problem?(there is a lot of background in the previous topic)

Hi

Are you sure the user account you are using possess full admin rights ? . If yes, try the below steps.

Hey there. I have been fighting this issue for four hours and so far it has ruined my morning. I am needing to work on some coding that's due and I'm now four hours behind, because, well, frankly... I can't open it.

I turned on my computer this morning, which is a laptop I just bought last Friday for new years. It ran great all weekend, and the laptop itself isn't the problem. When I started my computer, everything fired up and I immediately when to Notepad++ to work on my code.

Problem is, when I tried to save the file it wanted to save it as a new file. So, I went to the file's location and tried to rename it, and it said I didn't have permission to edit the file. I clicked continue, to give myself permissions to the file I was JUST EDITING last night, and it said I didn't have permission. Clicking "Try Again" 50 times does nothing.

To test this problem, I went to a video game folder and tried to delete a modification, and it did the same exact thing. After that, I tried to delete a sound wav file from my Audacity folder, and it deleted just fine... It seems to be folders only, but even then, it lets me delete some folders.

After my latest restart and Windows Update for lunch hour, I have the same problem but now it gives me a little more information. Now, it says You require permission from DESKTOP-038M48A/RhapidFyre to modify this file

The problem? I'm RhapidFyre.

Welcome to the forum. The first attempt may be due to file being in use. What folder is giving the problem can you save to another folder outside your profile

I'm having a lot of trouble with downloading a file, and am in desperate need of help. The file that I try to download simply says "Failed" in Firefox; Chrome decides to do nothing at all when attempting to download in that browser, and IE constantly states that I do not have the right permissions to run or save the file.

The thing is I do have the right permisisons. I am the admin, the only user, with Full Control on everything; including IE and the Downloads folder. This permissions issue crops up now and then and I never understand why, how can I possibly add more permissions to "Full Control"?

Dropbox also failed due to permissions. I'm out of ideas since all of my browsers are failing miserably!

Also tried an email via my friend. Extracted file with WinRAR and what a surprise, Access is denied.

Help please, I just want to download and install a program. That's it.

Answer:File Permission Access Denied

This should likely be in the MS / Windows board. The permissions in question are very likely pertaining to the user account. Most likely the user profile or Windows itself is corrupted. You could try creating a new account and adding Admin rights to that account. That's the extent of my Windows profile expertise.

To begin with I hope this is the right forum to present my issue. I've read some post's and cannot make heads or tails of most. I'm not very tecchy. I am running WinXP-Pro (SP3) and have an external HD (372GB). Somehow, the majority of my data (folders and files) on this drive has been moved to a LONG numbered folder and made inaccessible to me. I have paid a couple of online services for tech support and they cannot restore my accessibility to this data.

I am told that someone with a Linux system can access the data on this drive and change the permissions enabling me access again. A Windows based system will not work. They would have to copy and paste the data into new folders. I'm not a tech and really don't know what they are talking about. I am just echoing what was said to me. I don't even know if what I have been told is valid or not. Is there someone here with knowledge of both Windows and Linux that can at least tell me if this is true or not. I don't want to continue wasting my time and money if I'm only spinning my wheels.

What I do know, is that I don't have the money to be spending on services that in the end tell me, "Oh well, we can't help you, but if you go here, they will." This, and only to be played the same tune at the next stop! I don't have the resources to continue paying out and not getting results.

Can someone point me to a service that can help me. What I have been denied access to is very important to me and I am at a loss here. ... Read more

If you are having problems deleting that registry key download regkiller its free. If you cannot edit it you probably have a program open related to that registry entry, kill the process related to it and it should work.

Since installing Windows 8, I have been having sporadic problems with access denied. Examples follow:

PIMEX is a Personal Information Manager that I have been using through several generations of Windows. When I first converted to Windows 8, this program worked with no problems. Now, however, when I try to open the program, I get the message "PIMEX database could not be opened. Error message: permission denied". If I use the Control Panel to uninstall the program, and then reinstall the program, I am able to open it normally and work with it and use all functions. Once I close the program, however, and try to open it again, I once again get permission denied.

PaperPort is a program that manages scanned images. The program can scan either photos or text documents. If text is selected, the program creates a PDF file that the user names. These scanned files are then stored in PaperPort folders. When I try to display one of these files, PaperPort invokes PDF Viewer Plus (included with the package), and I get the message access denied. If I try to use the Windows 8 Reader to display the file, I get a "Sorry, can't display this file message". Likewise, I cannot display the file using Adobe software.

I have a HP Photosmart Premium printer which also is a scanner. If I use the HP Solution Center to scan a text document, I am able to scan the file without problems, but when I try to Finish and write the file to my hard drive, I have the same permissions problem ... Read more

This is a new computer. I connected to external USB drives to this computer. One is a traditional 1TB hard drive and the other is a 240 gb ssd drive. My problem is that on the traditional drive, I can not access one of my files. On the SSD drive, I can see the drive listed by can not access.

I have just had a new PC installed and although it is behaving itself fairly well, I noticed that several of my programs are opening in a "normal window", whereas I prefer them to be maximized. So I follow the basic routine of right-clicking the appropriate desktop shortcut, then "Properties" and clicking on "Run Maximized".But then I receive a message "Access Denied - you will need to provide administrator permission to change these settings"! As I am the only user of the PC, what does this mean, and how can I avoid this message?

Hey People,system specsWindows Vista Ultimate, 64 bit, SP2I was playing around with the permissions for one of my secondary drives that holds data e.g videos, mp3s so that my pal couldnt get into them and mess around with it and know it gives me this message everytime i try and access the drive.Location is not available (this appears in the title bar of the error message)I: is not accessible (this appears in the main part of the error message)Access is denied (this appears under the above message in the error message)And there is only an OK button i can press.So here is how this all came about.I right clicked on the drive,selected properties,Clicked on the security tab,clicked on the "users" option under the "Group or user names" section,Clicked on "edit",clicked on the "users" option under the "Group or user names" section,selected "deny" for every box under the "permissions for users" section,clicked apply,an clicked "ok" until the windows were all closed.The drive name was then changed to "Access Denied" after i had done this with no letter assigned to the drive.I went into computer management and assigned a drive letter but still no good.I now right click the drive and select properties and the security tab is no longer there, so i cannot reverse the permissions.I am logged in as an administrator.I have tried to turn off UAC with no luck.I have attempted to create another administrator account and change the permissions from there but no good.So does anyone out there know...

Answer:Access denied issue after tweaking permission

Might boot to administrator and try it in safe mode.Make a vista pe disk or barts pe and try to fix it.As you say it is a secondary drive, it might be possible to access from booting to the Vista dvd and use command line repair tools.The MS books all post a warning about deny's.

HI there! I am new to this website and so ask forgiveness for any mistakes I do make.

I'm running a windows 7 home basic 64-bit system on a laptop and have had it for about 2 years now, evverything has been working perfectly fine, up until yesterday where all of a sudden, I couldn't access my files and it wouldn't allow me to intall new programs where it loads up an error saying ''Unable to write file, access denied error code 5'', also it wouldn't allow me to open any of my files, saying I do not have the correct permissions to access these folders although I'm using the administrator account (which is the only one on this laptop). My antivirus [AVG 2013] does not open up anymore for some reason and cannot be uninstalled, I had two other ''pc-friendly'' programs which worked alongside AVG perfect, Advanced system care 7 and Baidu PCFaster, both of them were deleted I think, I can not open them and I tried re-installing both, got the ''Cannot write file'' error. That about sums up the mess I'm in, appreciate your help a lot!

Hello there,

I use steam. So basically what's happening is that sometimes, randomly I get this error message because of which I can't connect to steamcommunity.com at all. This can be solved by disconnecting my dialup cable wired internet and reconnecting it.But the problem is, it stays as long as 15 minutes and then the same error occurs again. It keeps on occurring the entire day and so on and it's really a drag to keep reconnecting my net every 15 minutes. So, any solution ? Thanks in advance.

I built a new desktop and did a clean Windows 7 64-bit install. I hooked up the hard drive from my old PC, which had XP on it, so I could copy all the files over to my new hard drive. But when I try, I keep getting errors that I don't have permission to access the file or copy the file. I was trying to do it for specific folders, but then I still needed to go through the process to ask for permission for each individual file inside the folder! So I changed the security settings for the entire drive by right clicking E:/, going to security and changing the permission for "Everyone" and checked the box "full control," which then checks all the boxes. And yet, when I try to copy folders from my old My Documents, it's still giving me error messages. I don't want any security settings at all. No one else is ever going to use this computer. But at the very least I need to copy these files. Please tell me how to do this, thanks in advance.

I am trying to download a purchased copy of the Chicago Manual of Style software. I have successfully been able to load this onto my laptop which is running Vista Home Premium, 32 bit Dell Inspiron.

The problem: I have attempted to load the same software on my desktop (HP Pavillion a6220n, 32 bit, Vista Home Premium). My computer will not allow the disc to be loaded. I receive the following error message:

C: \Windows\SYSTEM 32\CONFIG.NT. Error Code 0x0. You do not have sufficient privilege to access this file. See your system administrator. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Although the software does not indicate it is compatible with Vista, it loaded perfectly on the laptop. I can only guess that my desktop recognizes that the program is not Vista compatible or it needs a patch of some sort. If so, I couldn't find it on the University of Chicago's Manual of Style web page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All three users, Barb, Bob, Brian, in the advertising department received 'denied access' and 'you need permission to perform this action' while attempting to access the share folder-files 'srv-adv' on the domain server 2008 r2.

In the share security I gave Barb, Bob, Brian and the administrator full control. That did not work. I received 'denied access' and 'you need permission to perform this action'.
However after I added and gave Everyone full control the three workers in advertising were able to access the shared folders and files. I thought by given just the advertising workers full permission that would have been sufficient. Not so, I had to add Everyone with full permissions.

I then created an 'advertising' group and added to that group Administrator, Barb, Bob, Brian and gave them full permissions.

I am stuck at this point. Do I remove from the share 'srv-adv' each user and then add the group 'advertising' to the share? What I want to do is to have the users added to advertising group unfettered access to the share 'srv-adv'.

And because I encountered 'denied access' and 'you need permission to perform this action' what "member of" do I add to advertising group without having to add 'Everyone' with full permissions?

PS I created only the group 'advertising' and did not create a 'group policy'. I don't know is that makes a difference.

Thanks

Go through Setup Shared Folder in Windows Server 2012 to see if sharing is setup properly.

I have amassed hundreds of files that I cannot delete. Generally, the ones that have been on my computer for a long time, I am able to move around, but not to the Recycle Bin and I can't delete them permanently. I've read through hundreds of Google results telling me that I need to turn off or turn on User Account Control, or go into the properties of the file and take ownership of it. Sometimes those techniques (and many others, for example, a forced delete through Command Prompt) work, but only on a few files. Sometimes the problem goes away with a reboot. Sometimes it's as simple as moving it to another directory before deleting it. Sometimes it goes away with time or a whole lot of messing with it. But in the end, I go through enough files each week that I'm left with an inordinate amount that refuse to be deleted.

I originally had UAC off. I figured that there was no point in having it off, so I ended up turning it back on. There has been no difference. Files could not be deleted beforehand, and still, I am unable to delete them now. The same errors come up either way. The only difference is that when UAC is on, there is an extra step before the error where it asks me to continue, as is UAC's purpose.

Going to Properties --> Security and then changing ownership and giving myself full control does nothing. I don't see why it should when I'm the sole user of the computer. Still, I keep trying it and I admit that there are times where... Read more

Hey, I have a problem. I have my two sata hard drives partitioned into 3 parts. On One part (Drive E), theres a couple of files that have been there for a while (from previous windows installations), and I can't access them anymore. It's been like this for a while.

If I try to move or copy them, Vista says "You need permission to perform this action. Try Again. Cancel". If I use CMD to do it, it says Access Denied. If I try opening the videos files that are like that, the video player says File not Found.

I've tried botting in safe mode, enabling and logging in as the administrator (both in regular windows and safe mode), tried loading the vista installation cd, and using command prompt to copy the files.... but it says "Access Denied".

I've tried taking ownership using takeown or cacls, NO LUCK! I've also tried right clicking, properties, and messing with the security settings, still.. NO LUCK.

I've been at this for about a month, trying different things.---Anyone have any suggestions or a solution to how I can access those files?

I come here with a "bug" that is really really starting to cause problems.

Firstly, I would like to direct you to this thread.

I asked for help on another forum and well you can see what we went through, however they were not able to completely solve the problem.

I've done some quick tests, and it has basically ended up being that whenever an exe file is involved, Windows will go crazy with permissions or something.

The behaviour is pretty much that I try to delete a folder with exe files in it, and it will tell me that I do not have permission to do so. If I go inside the folder, I can delete the files no problem. Once they're gone, I can delete the folder.

But other instances are that when I try to delete some files, the file will remain, but it won't be there, my computer will say that I need to specify the correct path. Then after a few minutes, the file will actually disappear.

This has become quite a nuisance, because for example, I need to run Punkbuster so I can play some games. Punkbuster runs 2 services, PnkbstrA.exe and PnkbstrB.exe

PnkbstrB.exe is created by PnkbstrA.exe when a game is launched and it's updated on-the-fly. This is a problem, since my system will then deny access to PnkbstrB.exe, so A can't delete/update or do anything to the file for a few minutes, and I'll just end up being kicked in-game because I don't have B.

If I go into the Syswow64 folder, B is there, but you can'... Read more

Since build 10166 I can not open Outlook 2010 on my PC. I am getting the message that I do not have permission to open the folders. I can get it to open if I open as admin but that has limited functionality.Any ideas? I have checked the folders properties and there is nothing in there that has changed.

Answer:Build 10166 Outlook won't open message - 'file access is denied - you do not have permission

I found this elsewhere- Got to your hard drive and right-click the folder that's causing all the trouble.- Click Properties.- Click the Security tab- Then click Advanced- You'll see a window with some usernames. Now click Owner in the tabs above.- Click Edit, then select the username you wish to be able to open the folder and be sure to check the box that says "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" then hit Apply.A pop up will come up that says something like 'You have replaced the ownership for the selected folders' or something in that manner. It worked for me and hopefully this post is still useful to some peopleI changed access to users to full control and now it opens fine.

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Intel Pentium running Windows XP sp3 and have been getting tons of junk mail. I ran Avast, malware bytes &spybot. Nothing found. So I started looking through the Dell help on my computer. I'm not as savvy as I'd like to be and while trying to fix the issue myself I did something that I shouldn't have. First, I tried system restore to go back to a later date but it wouldn't let me no mater which date I tried. Then,I followed a suggestion regarding the registries. HUGE mistake! Now my computer is stuck in a boot loop. I obviously need to repopulate my hives but have no idea how. When the computer starts the Windows XP logo pops up. Then a box pops up saying lsass.exe access denied a proccess has requested access to an object, but has not been granted those access rights. When I click ok It restarts. The Dell logo pops up then the Windows XP logo and then the access denied again. Ive tried to start in last known good configuration. Safe mode. System restore. But, i keep ending back in the loop. So, I tried ordering some disks that I thought may be able to help while I've been reading through threads for information. I don't have any of the original software for this cop, I purchased it used a few years ago. But, I purchased a Knoppix 7.6.1., and system rescue from same CO, & 2 CDs off eBay Windows XP 64 bit & 32 bit as I wasn't sure which was the one I might need.

Answer:lsass.exe Access Denied a process has requested access to an object, but has not been granted those access rights

Windows XP has reached end of life 2 years ago... It is an insecure Operating System and should no longer be used especially online.The Dimension 2400 is weak hardware (Pentium 4 Processor, IDE hard drive, DDR RAM) from 2003! so 13 years old! Its not worthwhile running a modern Operating System on it and below minimum system requirements.If on a budget you are best to buy a second hand OptiPlex 780 with a Windows 7 OEM license (which can be used for a free Windows 10 upgrade).

On both 64Bit & 32Bit Win7 machines I get an error message, denying access to a file in a folder within another folder. All have been shared, permissions granted & drives mapped to each folder. That is in addition to initially applying the changes to the file folder, subfolders, and files.

The message comes after the Client machine accesses the program, and attempts to generate a pdf.

The 64 is Win7-Win7 connection, while the 32 is connected to an XP.Initially, I thought it to be a 64 issue. However, now it seems to be a Win7.I have set to the Program to Run As Administrator & changed the Compatibility to XP Service Pack 3 to no avail.

I am moments away from Control+Alt+45ACP.Please Help!

I run into this problem often. When working with Photoshop files (PSD in the most recent case), sometimes when I make a change and then try to save the changes I come up with this error dialog. My work flow is always the same - I am the computer's administrator.
I am the only person with access to this computer. There are no other users on this computer. This computer is not tied to any server or network. My files are generated from my own work obtained from my camera. I normally save changes to the file several times
so I won't lose my work. I can save the file using a different name, but then I cannot delete the original file unless I reboot the computer and open it up again. Please explain why this randomly reoccurs.

Answer:File Access Denied - You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file

Hi dmiddleton123,
"When working with Photoshop files (PSD in the most recent case), sometimes when I make a change and then try to save the changes I come up with this error dialog. "
When did the issue start to occur ?The issue only occur with the specific software ?Have you tried to change another location to saved file or reopen the software (end the software process from the task manager)to have a check ?
This issue is a little weired,please take the following steps to have a check .
1.Run "sfc /scannow" to check the health of the system files .
2.Perform a full scan with an antivirus software .
3.Perform a clean boot to verify whether there is a third party conflict here.

4.Create a new administrator and login with it to have a check.There is a possibility that the present account profile has corrupted.

If the issue only occurred with the specific software ,it is also recommended to ask for help from the software developer .

From somewhere, somehow, a folder named "24cd9e4542d29590bce925ec30" has been created in my W7x86pro root dir. Trying to look inside, I had to "permanently get access". But then inside it, there are a whole lot of folders named things like 1025, 1028, 1029, etc, ending with 3076, and 3082.

What's in those folders, I have no idea, since every time I try to open one, I first get the "You don't currently have permission to access this folder" dialog, and then when I click Continue, I get "You have been denied permission to access this folder".

Also inside the "24cd9e4542d29590bce925ec30" folder, there are files, like "Setup.exe" and "NDP40-KB2473228.msp" and "SetupEngine.dll" and some *.bmp and some other files. I guess that NDP40-KB2473228.msp gives away that this folder has something to do with some .NET framework update, but AFAIK, there's no .NET-anything installed on this computer.

I want to remove the "24cd9e4542d29590bce925ec30" folder, but there seems to be no way I can get permission to do that. trying to get ownership or set access rights, all I get is "Access denied" or similar.

Does anyone know:
1. What those folders and files are doing there?
2. How do I remove them?

First off, I wasn't sure where the best place to post this would be, since UAC is supposed to be a security feature of windows 7 I figured the security section would be best. My apologies if I posted this in the wrong section.

OK to the problem...

Trying to simply copy/paste a game dll file from a folder on a virtual(.iso) drive to a folder on my main drive. I get the error window titled, "File Access Denied" with the following:

"You need permission to perform this action

You require permission from Everyone to make changes to this file"
_________________________________________________________

Strange thing is this, I also have this same dll file in another folder on my main drive, but I get the same message with the permission requirement coming from my own user name.

Like in the title of my post I have taken ownership of all folders/files in question, am using the only admin account on this machine, and have given my username "full control" permissions over said files/folders. Also for troubleshooting purposes I have disabled UAC completely and still get the error message.

One thing I will add that just came to mind which may of some help. When I had installed win7 on this machine I was married and had 1 user account that my wife and i used. We split up and she had the computer for a while. She changed the computers name and changed the username/s. When I got it back from her I re-changed the computer name and also the... Read more

Answer:!!UAC!! "File Access Denied" Even with admin, as owner, and permission

Best thing to do is a "clean" re-installation.... if the computer is your's now.

Hello,I recently had a problem with a friends computer that they could no longer bootup in to. It was Windows XP Pro, it would just reboot all the time. You could no longer access the OS. So I suggested installing a fresh XP Pro on a new harddrive and move you saved files to the new harddrive.Well, now I am to the point of moving the files and I keep getting a Access Denied error when I try to paste them to the new hard drive. I know how to change the security permissions for each file and it allows me to move the files then. I used this article from Microsoft to learn how to change the permissions http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881My questions is this. How can I change the security permissions on multiple files? I have 1000 different files that I need to do this on so I can move them.

Yesterday I reformatted my PC, everything went just fine. However, when I'm now trying to access a folder in my (D hard drive I get "you have been denied permission to access this folder" I do know how to fix the problem folder and files each, but how can I fix this error for my hole (D hard drive? Is there a more simple way to fix this without going through all my files? There's also "unknown" users with numbers that have access to the files, like it would be my old user before reformat. How can I remove them the most simple way?

I also want to know why did this happen? I have reformatted before and didn't encounter this problem, and I can't think of anything that would make this happen.

How can I prevent this from happening again? I reformatted my PC after fixing some of the access to see if it would happen again, and it did.

I also noticed that on some folders there are a lock on the icon, as well as that most of the folders are write protected and I cant remove it!?

First post so apologies for sharing the burden. I am running a Win Server 2008 R2. One of my users informed me that he could not access a couple of folders within the server. Upon checking, I found out that even I do not have access to the folder, even in administrator account. Whenever I try to open it, it says 'you don't currently have permission to view this folder. Click continue to permanently get access to this folder.' so I clicked Continue.

It comes out with another popup that says 'You have been denied permission to access this folder. To gain access to this folder, you need to use the security tab. The security tab part is clickable so I did.

It shows the folder properties > Security with a message of 'You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings.' I clicked the Advanced tab > Owner -> Edit button. Checked the Replace owner or subcontainers and objects. I can see the Administrators as a choice. I even tried keying in an individual user. After that, I clicked 3 subsequent OKs.

Nothing happened. Kinda stumped on this. I did read some help from here earlier but it couldn't work. I can't just 'restart' this as its a running server. Halp pls.

I am running on windows 10 and recently upgraded from windows 7. After having alot of problems with my files being read-only after the upgrade I decided to look at the security permissions and somehow accidentally removed myself as an owner to C:\ (I am the admin user) Clicking on C:\ results in access denied, going into advanced properties of the drive and trying to change any security setting results in the window freezing up for a while then saying access denied, no editor control.I have tried going through command prompt in safe mode and entering NET USER Administrator /active:yes, NET STOP ProfSvc, access is still denied even in the command prompt on the new administrator user.I have no idea what to do anymore, I've searched the internet for solutions and found nothing.

Recent changes:
We recently removed 5 out of 6 total 2008R2 DCs from our environment and promoted 5 x 2016 servers as DCs. We are still running the domain functional level @ 2008R2 however.
Single forest 2 domain environment
Shortly have recent changes (stated above) the issue started with 5 users in parent domain. After existing user logs in applications like windows explorer, internet explore, will error with "windows cannot access the specified
device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". Also, other applications will not run as they are attempting to resister OCX file and DLLs. cannot access computer management even after granting affected
user local admin rights. This issue has now transcended to child domain and is affecting at the moment only 1 existing user.
Unaffected users are able to login to same test computer and run applications without issue.
Clearly a domain permission problem with the user account, but not sure how to proceed.
For testing I gave affected users domain admin rights and the issue goes away. Remove domain admin rights and the issue returns for the user.
Any ideas?

I have encountered a couple of Edge E530 laptops on our company's domain recently that are suddenly unable to access removable media. There is no domain-wide group policy governing storage access and the storage related policies on each computer have been disabled. No setting in the antivirus is set to deny access (I even uninstalled the antivirus to be sure). I cannot access usb drives or the CD-ROM drive in Windows explorer or any 3rd party exlporer replacements I've tried, but can burn discs and create disc images using Iso-burn. I can access all devices perfectly in safe mode, but even the diagnostic startup option from MSConfig will not let me access them outside of safe mode. The only services that seem to run in diagnostic mode are Group Policy Client, RPC Endpoint Mapper, and Task Scheduler. I have also tried leaving the domain and booting locally into the system with the Administrator account, but to no avail. These systems were wiped and reloaded before their initial deployment, so they don't have Lenovo Security or port locker, which was the only related item I could find in the forums so far. Any ideas of what can be done? I would rather avoid re-imaging the systems, if possible, as this problem seems to be occurring more frequently lately. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning,I have a system that has had numerous issues, mainly virus related. I have cleaned the system, and show no virus activity... but I'm still having issues.Late last week the system was stuck in a loop, it wouldn't boot to Windows at all (no safe mode, no normal mode). I resorted to a Windows repair from the install disk. It worked... to a certain degree. I am now able to get into Windows, but can not open IE and I can not install a display driver.I am unable to access Windows Update, but was able to set automatic updates to install lots of updates including SP3, but I am still unable to make any changes.Initially when I attempted to open IE I would get a window saying that IE had to close instantly. I attempted to reinstall IE, and I attempted to install a newer version of IE. Neither worked. If I chose to install the updates with the install I would get an access denied error, if I chose not to install the updates with the install it would look like it worked, but now when I click on IE I get "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetcpl.cpl. The operating system cannot run %1"In device manager, I have no drivers installed on my display adapter. If I try to update it, it looks like it's going to install... but then I get "Cannot install the hardware. Access is Denied".Any assistance or insight into this would be appreciated.

Hi, looking for any help with no control panel and many other issues.

I have kinda setup a network with my computer and a laptop which has just been formatted. It now has XP service pack 2 installed and I have to enter the password and username of an account on the laptop in order to access the resources.Now I can access the laptop using my computer, when the laptop tries to access my computer, and tries to get a file, the message on the title always comes up.

I have unchecked simple file sharing and enabled full access (read/write) on the laptop whose account Im using. But it didnt work.

When opening my computer today, I have noticed a message about migration and program controls and some information about windows NT and windows 3.x This has never popped up and am wondering if this has made any changes to my computer not the laptop.

So Is there a simple way that does not restrict the laptop from getting the resources on my computer??

So today I was working on my computer, my norton antivirus expired and so I bought a new one. Well it wouldn't renew my subscription so I read on a website that you need to clear norton out of your registry. So I followed the directions and ever since I did that when I open a webpage it goes to a screen that says:

The following error was encountered:

Access control configuration prevents this request.

On top of that I get a similar message when I try to run live update. I have the computer hooked up to a linksys router with high speed internet. Please help.

Help...am with AOL dial up and usually browse the internet by minimising AOL browser and using IE. However yesterday stuck a Wanadoo info cd into my pc (bad move !) to get details of their broadband service and somehow I managed to install some software that has now reconfigured by interne access through IE.Basically, I now have a Wanadoo logo on my IE browser and can no longer surf the net once Ive connected through AOL dial up. I can only surf the net using AOLs browser.If I minimise AOLs browser and open IE, I get the following message :"ForbiddenYou were denied access because :Access denied by access control list"I tried removing the Wanadoo prog but it wont go away and tried reinstalling IE but same message comes up.Both AOL and Wanadoo help lines are useless and deny it is their problem- my guess is the nasty Wanadoo cd has corrupted or changed my orginal IE settings but cant work out what it has changedAny one knows whats going on ?

I am attempting to access an application.exe file on my desktop. Each time that I click on it the Windows message, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." pops up. I am the system administrator so this should NOT be a problem but apparently many out there are dealing with this as well. I can delete, move and even copy the file but I cannot run it. There is no option for override with password or grant permission. It just says that I cannot run it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, the system I am running is Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Answer:Windows can't access file. May not have permission to access.

Hello KyRy, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might check to see if you can right click on the file, click on Properties, click on Security tab, and make sure that you have Read & execute permission allowed (checked) for your user account or the administrators group.Permissions - Allow or Deny Users and GroupsIf not, then you might see if you may be able to install and use the free program Unlocker on the file to have access to it afterwards.

I have passed on my 5-yr-old WinXP SP2 computer to a relative. Before passing it on, I uninstalled my Norton Internet Security and some other software packages, plus my Tiscali Broadband account. I also created a new user account (full admin rights) for my relative, and deleted my own account.I created an ordinary dialup account for my relative to access his Tiscali email account. For a few days the computer will be without an antivirus package, until he can get one installed.When I set the machine up at my relative's house, Outlook Express connected happily to his email account, and he has sent and received emails OK. However, when he tried to connect to the internet via IE, he got nothing but the following message: "403 Forbidden. You were denied access because: access denied by access control list."IE's Restricted Sites List is empty. Security settings are set to Medium. Spywareblaster automatic updates are working normally. I even tried turning off Windows Firewall, but the problem remained.Could this be anything to do with the fact that he currently has no antivirus software?Any advice on this problem would be gratefully received. Thanks.

I have a Netgear ADSL firewall router which works well with my existing network.I tried to add a new workstation.

I'm mostly a Linux guy these days, so I'm no longer clued up about even simple Windows issues. Bear with me.

I have one PC running Vista (home basic), one running XP (professional) and one running Windows 7 (home basic). There is a printer connected to the Vista box, which is shared.

On the XP box I can both see and use the printer on the Vista box (i.e. a "net view \\vistabox" shows the printer, and under "printers and faxes" I can install and use it).

On the Windows 7 box, however, I can see the Vista box (i.e. a "net view" shows it in the list of available PCs on the network) but a "net view \\vistabox" gives me an "access denied" error.

The Windows 7 machine has a password on it, the Vista and XP machines don't. All machines are on the same workgroup name (which is "WORKGROUP"). On the XP box I don't need a password to access the shared printer on the Vista machine; it just works.

Extensive Googling has failed to render enlightenment, nor has browsing this forum. I'm sure it has something to do with security and passwords, somewhere, somehow, but I have no idea in which direction to look for it, let alone fix it. I have also read some things about workgroups and homegroups not being the same in Windows 7, but I'm not sure if this is correct (and if so, relevant).

All suggestions on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated!

Answer:Can access Vista shares from XP but not from Windows 7 (access denied)

I was upset that I couldn't save to my C drive so I started messing around trying to find a way. I deleted everythig in group or users names thinking I could just assign the Administrator. Now I can't access anything, I cannot run a system restore, I cannot do a cmd to Run as administrator, so on and so on. I have googled my eyes off trying to find solutions. When I click to run some programs I get "The parameter is incorrect".

And yet quite possibly another no brainer for you all, I work on a large number of machines for family and friends, mostly 2000 or XP Home and Pro and to be quite honest with you I am not sure what the best way to connect to these machines would be, what I mean is I am soooooo tired of setting up a machine in my shop, running up stairs to my primary machine to either get in remotly or tap into the c:\ drive of the other machine only to realize that I do not have permition, or I do not remember the computer name, or I do not have the password, or I can not log on as the "guest". Do you know what I mean? I get so frustrated when I get the "Access Denied" message. it seems to me I spend more time trying to get into these machines than I do reparing them. So I guess my question would be, once I have the machine setup what is the FASTEST way for me to gain access to that machine from another machine? Lets just focus on XP and 2000, Do I really have to setup a user first to gain access? or is there a quicker way. Thanks.

Answer:Denied Access To Set Program Access And Defaults By Rundll32.exe

Hi and welcome.rundll32.exe is a process which executes DLL's and places their libraries into the memory, so they can be used more efficiently by applications. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.Note: rundll32.exe is a process registered as a backdoor vulnerability which may be installed for malicious purposes by an attacker allowing access to your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system.This is strange, this might be a malware or it might just be some promblem with the rundll32.exeI would run a scan and see what the scanners find. DON'T remove rundll32.exe, because it is most likely a legitimate file.Regards,ExtremeboyGreat that you figured it out. Can you tell us how you fixed the promblem?

I have set up the brother in laws with a wireless router and the main machine works fine, Their ISP is AOL. On a Windows 98 machine upstairs the wireless network is connected and the router confirms the presence of this machine however the message appears as follows when we try to connect to the internet through IE.403 ForbiddenYou were denied access because:Access denied by control listI`ve read the KB316699 which says I should create a new connection to your ISP. Does that mean I have to install the AOL software and should I really need to?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to gain access to files in dos which give the message access denied. I've tried to remove the attributes, but get the same message. (access denied). I booted from a win xp boot disk set and chose the repair windows installation... I am thinking i may have to boot to a second operating system,,, but was wondering if this is the only way, or even possible if i install a second operating system...I would rather not install the second operating system if there's anyway around it... Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks William

Well, good thing you have FAT32 partitions. That makes it easier. But first, what file do you want to get at?

You will need to boot into dos with an older boot disk, pre-XP. Because with the XP repair, you are limited to only the root and windows folders. Once you boot with the disk then you can do what you want.

i m using windows vista from my laptop HP DV5 .yesterday i was deleted Security Tab from my D drive.n i delete all the groups & users .now i got the the error access denied .i cannot access my drive :(.any how .please give me some suitable solution i ll thankful to you guys. and here is the screen shot of same thing

I have installed the BT home hub (British Telecom) There are two user accounts on my pc. I am the administrator, and have no problems using the connection to the hub (either wirelessly or by cable) at all!

I do however, have a problem with any other user been able to connect to the internet. I have tried making them and "Administrator" too, and I get the same error message:

Forbidden

You were denied access because;
Access denied by access control list.

My reasoning told me that it might be a software problem, as a dial up connection, and a standard broadband cable connection all worked peviously with the two "Adimistrator", and "restricted" user accounts.

I spoke to BT who decided that it was a microsoft issue...microsoft UK want to charge me ?49 to help as my XP Home Edition wasn't bought from them, it was pre-installed. I contacted Time Computers for help from them, though I am utterly dissapointed in them...I am a novice computer user, but I recognised that my ?1 per minute technical help call was ludicrous...DON'T USE IT! They spend 5 mins getting and checking your details!

1, Since when has creating a shortcut to a connection ever "lifted" an access denied?

2, I was also told to delete the accounts that were not allowed the access. They told me to click on save files, after I had started to delete the account...they got mixed up with the order of how things are done! Luckily I got it halted!

I was told I might have a bad area on my hard drive (C).I reformatted my C drive, reloaded my software and all is well except: When I try to open Program Files I get the message in the subject line. My experience level is beginner. It took all I had and some good advice to reformat drive and reload.Any advice you give me please make it simple. I have an HP Pavillion DV5000 laptop, 4 and 1/2 years old and run Microsoft Windows XP home edition. Not sure of service pak info but if you need this to diagnose let me know how to find it and I will supply. Everything is working well on my computer except this but i would like to keep my programs in the program file rather than spread out in the C drive.Thank you for your help!!Glennps If I need to sign in as systems administrator I do not know how to do that.

Answer:Cannot access Program File. Access is denied.

Happy Holidays n Welcome to our forum.Posting is not very clear, but it sounds like a permission issue.It would help a lot to post the exact warning or error. This will let us help u more. Did u validate Windows? Is the Win CD a genuine Windows CD?Lets try to start u in Safe Mode to see if we can get u into a new Admin account.1- reboot PC as soon as it starts, start pressing F8 Key. This will not load Windows and give u some option. Choose Safe Mode with Network. Windows will start to load just follow the directions. Once Window starts it will load only enough to get started. There's not much u r going to damage at this stage. All we want to do is here is create 2 new accounts. One new Administrator account and one Regular account (with Administrator privileges). U can name the new accounts anything u want. Just remember which one is the new Admin account and the regular account. To create the new account:Go to >Start>Control Panel>User Accounts> Select new accounts. Name each account, u will want to create a Computer Admin and a Limited user account.When done just reboot and Windows will load with the 2 new accounts u just created. 2- Log on with the new Admin account and see if u get the same message. If u do, post the exact message on the next thread.3- the regular account should also be tested. Once again see if u get the same message. If different post the message. Write back let us know.

My computer has been battling with my graphics card & modem lately. So, today I reinstalled Windows with the backup feature provided with the backup (emachine). After I had updated windows completely & replaced my extensive collection of fonts I went to put all my personal files back. I get this message:"FOLDER LOCATION" is not accessible.Access is denied.Click to expand...

It's the "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner" folder

It has all my music, videos, photos, & work for things I do in it. I can get into my 'WINDOWS' folder and 'Program Files' but not that. Is there a way I can get into it? I've tried using Ubuntu with the hard-drive mounted and I get that the HD is read-only and I can't move/rename/delete/ect. anything on it. I've been working on it for hours with no results at all, help

I was just wondering if anybody could spare some time to help me out with a problemwe have set up a network in our house with the use of a hub and router...we have broadband connected to NTL....with six computers connected

However one of our flatmates computers gives this error message when she tries to use IE: 'Forbidden, You were denied access by access control list'

She uses win XP..

She can still use messenger which shows the connection to her comp is fine... I have had a search around the net with no luck...something to do with her ISP connection although our ISP is well NTL i think..... i just plug and played this computer, no CD or anything...

My computer would get to the Boot Screen then i got a blue screen and it restarted. I used Hiren's boot cd and copied all the contents in this folder
C:\Documents and Settings onto the Local Disk D (second partion) Installed a new installation of the same windows (MCE) and i cannot open any files in there. It says that access is denied and the pictures just says no previews. i was logged in under the Administrator account. I have even changed the ownership of the folder and still nothing. I really need my documents back and i can't get them to work. help is appreciated, thanks.:bald:

I'd like to put a .cmd file in my c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup directory, but \Documents and Settings has a lock on it and tells me "Access denied" when I click on it. Is this a job for "Take Ownership" or is there another way? The instructions for "Take Ownership" say not to use it on the C drive, but it's not clear if that applies to the whole drive, or individual files/folders on it. Thanks.

Answer:"Access denied:" How to overcome denied access to a folder

That is the incorrect path. No need to mess with permissions, I'd advise leaving them alone.

The path you are looking for is C:\Users\<your user account>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

trying to set up our system so that we cna do remote mmc administration of some machines (win 7).

when I connect to it, I get access denied errors for specific modules, however I can connect to Computer management, but the same modules still disallow access. I am using the domain admin to try this.

Built a new PC for my self recently, very happy with it, running 7 64bit.
As new mobos these days are geared towards sata hdd operations I bought one and running my OS on it no problem, I did however keep my old IDE hard drive which I have attatched to the mobo because I got a ton of music and other stuff on it.

Now, I can see the hdd in my computer, I can open it and browse the full contents of it no problem, BUT when attempting to open a folder it says,
you dont have permision to access this folder, click continue to permanently get access to folder

wheeeyy

click continue then

errr??

you have been denied permison to access the folder, to gain access you need to use the secuirtry tab

ok ok ok

security tab

then advance then continue then chance permisons to my local user name

then that folder is accessable..

What a stupid long wind way of doing it, i dont mind if it was 1 folder but ive got hundreds how can I do this for all folders or more importantly the whole hard drive, its mine ffs!
